Ghanaian Parliament Exposes Still-Operating Shelter Despite Closure Reports

Ghanaian Parliament Committee Uncovers Operating Shelter Despite Closure Reports A parliamentary committee investigating the conditions of children's shelters in Ghana has made a surprising discovery. During an inspection tour on May 21st, 2025, members of the Gender, Children and Social Protection Committee visited the ‘Save Them Young’ shelter in Ashaiman Bethlehem. Committee members expressed astonishment that the facility remained operational, contradicting prior information that it had been shut down. "We were informed that this facility was closed," stated one committee member, whose name was not disclosed in the video. "It's quite concerning to find it still running." The video shows the committee arriving at the shelter and briefly depicts the shelter's exterior. The committee's visit underscores the ongoing need to monitor and improve the safety and welfare of children in shelters across Ghana. The full report from the committee is expected soon.
